This is a new camera from Xiaomi that it records in 1080p at 20fps. You can Pan the camera 270 degrees using the MI APP on your Smartphone. It also have a loud siren that can be automatically turned on when motion is detected.
It supports 2-way audio and it has IP66 weatherproof rating so the camera should have no problem being outdoors.

Great job, thank you from Greece!
I have been looking out some quick and precise review regarding to this security cam, and yours a big help 👍🏼
For installation of camera outdoor under no shelter, are the accessories all that's needed ?
No it should be fine without.
@@Securitybros thanks for ur prompt reply, if I use wifi, how I going to protect the lan port from water intrusion?
@@jy-dj4wl You can use a junction box or you can pull the cables through the wall since you still need power for the camera. Often they come with a weather proof connector cover as well.
Does it have human detection option via Mi Home? I cannot find it. Also I hoped that it will work as an outdoor alarm siren for Mi Gateway alarm.
Qual a câmera você indica com melhor sensor de movimento? Menos alarme falsos. Qual marca?
I'm having a tough decision with this camera or the other xiaomi camera CMSXJ11A, the wireless with nice design. Would you recommend this wired camera or the other one?
I would say it depends since they both have pros and cons. If you need 24/7 recordings and have power outlet available I would get this one instead of the battery powered.
Does the motion detection works for you?
Hey man... May I ask you where can someone define the motion detection area?
I'm not able to find it in home monitoring menu
I have already tested 3 such cameras only internal on my channel. Useful devices!
hi, is there a good face recognition ip camera that wont notify and alert familiar faces each time they walk passed the camera. can the camera support multiple devices and users? everyone can get the notification?
i want to install smart video doorbell too. i have the same climate as yours. would you recommend me to use it outdoor? literally outdoor under rain and hot weather? is it possible?
hi in night vision colour, does the camera have bright white leds to illuminate the area? great video
Hi, no I'm afraid not.
@@Securitybros thanks for the quick reply could you tell me the length of the mains lead please, as my power socket is a bit far away. If it doesn't have bright LEDs that's perfect for me. Many thanks
@@dessieb123 Not sure, you can see it in the video. I would guess 2 meters maybe.
Thank for the review, can I conect two or three camera (front/back and garden of the house)?
If we install it upside down (on the ceiling), can we see the image corrected (180 degrees)? Thank you...
Hello, how many cameras can you put in the Mi Home app, I mean, how many cameras can you see at the same time in the app? Thanks & greetings...
Hi! I bought an Imilab EC3 camera, and it working well, but...The manufacturer promise "free cloud storage" and "key area care settings" but... this are not. What do you think why?
I use Mi Home app, And I use an Imilab EC2 too. EC2 working well, I use free cloud storage.
And in the same app displayed EC2 and EC3. I can control both of them, but this two function missing in EC3 settings... What happend?
Szia, azóta megoldodott a probléma?
@@eliasdaniel7540 Szia! Nem, nincs felhő alapú tárolás csak SD kártya és nincs a másik funkció sem. Ettől eltekintve működik....
Nice. But can you include the sound quality for two way audio for the cameras in your review next time. It's really important if we want to use it as our front door camera. Thanks!
Hi Chris. The test was a while ago, but maybe you will be able to help. Any chance you know if there are any issues/problems for the xiaomi cameras to work with apple ios? I have few these cameras working fine on Android, but a friend of mine asked to install him these on Apple ios and I wonder if there are no issues here. Btw. Imilab recently introduced the new EC5 camera (with flood lighting, pan and tilt human tracking). Maybe you will have the opportunity to review it some time. Thanks.
Hi chris, could you still review videos from your phone if you dont subscribe to the cloud service? Hipe you answer
hello. is it possible conect this camera with nvr?if yes tell me please the way.
Nice video. Did you buy it in China, is it working fine? I just bought ezviz c6c from china, and I only can use the chinese version app to access the camera not the one in the playstore, do you know sth abt this?
Hi, yes I bought it from Aliexpress and have no problem using it. Where did you buy the camera? Never heard that they have region locked cameras but possible if you bought it in China. Did you ask Ezviz about it? Maybe it's possible to region unlock it, if that's the case.
@@Securitybros I bought it from taobao. Ezviz said they cant do anything about that, u can only use chinese account. I tried to connect it to my hikvision dvr but it always failed to connect because of system language? I dont know
Thank you for sharing this video, very helpful. It’s very interesting that I found this camera in Taiwan called EC3 and gives instructions in English (we speak Mandarin Chinese and Taiwanese) when your Xiaomi camera does in Mandarin Chinese.
Do u need to use the Enternet cable. Or can it run on 100% WiFi
Yes you can use it without connecting the Ethernet cable.
How do you compare video quality (daytime and more important night vision) to Hisee and Zosi that you also reviewed?
I think they are kinda similar in image quality.
Hi Bros, May i ask what's the different btw N2 and N1, Also which can use Singapore server ? Thank you.
Apperently there is a new global version called EC3.
is there a way to add this to mi home.app in other regions instead of using chinese mainland only?
Hello ,
Thank you for this video
so for remote acces we need configure NAT in router or not?
thank you
nope u dont
Please tell me is there a feature in mi home automatization for this camera: if I press any xiaomi button this camera goes into sleeping mode/ wake mode?
It is compatible with the EC2 gateway?
IMOU Bullet Vs Xiaomi Xiaobai, which one is the best for detail ? Bro ?
Daytime I think they are very similar in image quality but night time is better on the Imou bullet.
IMOU has my vote 🤓
Does it need poe adapters to connect to the internet via cable?
No just a Ethernet cable. This camera does not support POE so you have to power it using a power adapter.
But how do you connect the camera to the mii home app using Ethernet cable? Have you tried it?
I bought Ec3 and now I'm in desperate need of its firmware. My EC3 has been bricked after the update and it seems like only few people encounter this problem. Can you help me?
Does it provide free cloud storage also?
Good question. I can't remember, I do know that you get free cloud with their battery camera but not sure with this one.
One more question if I can - are you planning to do review of new updated version of this camera - EC3 which is Global version (no need to us Chinese setup/servers) and it is 2K/3 MPIX?
Didn't even know there was a new model. I will have a look at it.
is there a way to livestream these cams on TV?
Hi, please let me know if the motion detection laert in app is already fixed.
09/2020 No!!!
Really good review. Keep them coming :)
Thank you!
I guess I am pretty randomly asking but do anyone know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Jonathan Neil I use flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
@Kendall Augustine Yea, have been using FlixZone for years myself :)
@Kendall Augustine Thanks, I signed up and it seems to work =) Appreciate it!
Olá de noite temos de ligar a luz da câmera certo? Eu tinha eu modo ligar e desligar automaticamente mas não consigo ver nada em modo o led acende e apaga constantemente será defeito ou é assim mesmo? Obrigado
Is it possible to save recorded video in a NAS server like indoor xiaomi camera? Thank you
Yes you can.
hi there. I`m wondering if there is a way to access this camera from the Internet in real time
does the camera can use in Canada (the plug type and voltage)? Thanks
Yes no problem. Included power adapter works with 110-240v but you have to choose whatever plug they use in Canada when you order the camera. Camera itself uses 12V 1A.
@@Securitybros Where do you buy the camera including the compatible plug?
@@lewlei6334 I got mine from Aliexpress.
Does it work for PC?
Good morning,
Have this security camera option, that it will be rotating from one side to other side automatically and scan whole 270° area automatically? I can't find this option in APP. I can only rotate the camera manually in the APP.
Thank you
Hi, I'm afraid it can't auto patrol.
Great review!
What size SD card are you using? How many of the 24 hour videos were you able to store without having to delete?
Thanks! Not sure what size I used but a 32GB SD card will only last a few of days of 24/7 recording but you don't need to delete manually since it will overwrite when full.
Can i use another app/software for this camera besides xiaomi home app?
I don't think so.
Awesome review. Thumbs up.
Thanks!
Hi, I've seen your review about this camera and about the CMSXJ11A model. They are really very interesting, very good job.
But what are the main differences between them and which one do you think is the best as an outdoor camera ?
In this model (CMSXJ25A) there is a power supply instead of a battery and I think prefer the power supply.
Thank you
Hi, if you prefer power supply I would get this camera instead of the CMSXJ11A. This camera can also record 24/7.
please bro answer me , what its mean retrigger interval ?
Can you do auto rotate ?
Do you mean auto rotate the image? If so, no you have to place the camera as it is meant to.
Is this a battery powered camera?
No.
is there a way i can set my mijia app to any region other than china mainland and link this? right now the only way i can view this app through mi home app is to set my region to china mainland
No the only way is to use China mainland for it to work.
Where does the footage get kept? In cloud or need memory card?
Sd
Does the camera have a web interface that can be accessed to change password etc?
No web interface but you can change passwords in the APP.
Can the camera register as ONVIF in Synology Surveillance Station?
It doesn't support ONVIF but you can have it record to NAS.
@@Securitybros Thank you, Chris!
Hi all , my wifi signal is too weak.. can I install and use the camera just with LAN cable connection??
Which 24/7 cam would you recommend in this cams price range? I like this cam, but it doesn't have a english version yet and Xiaomi is infamous for not updating firmware on their devices!
There is global english version called EC3.
Thank You!
Great video very helpful thanks. I have just installed my ec3 which was pretty straightforward after watching this. I have he camera currently set up for WIFI access and the plan was to run an RJ45 cable from the modem as it is a quite a distance to the camera [wifi quality says good although it also says 25% in the app]. When I open the device through the Mi Home app on Android, I immediately get a message "Pausing, you're using mobile data", and the camera does not start - cannot see an image. It works fine when closer to the modem. My mobile is connected to wifi. Any idea why I get this message? Thank you
Does it work if you connect a Ethernet cable at that distance? If so the camera is probably to far away from the router.
@@Securitybros Thanks. I don't have en Ethernet cable long enough to test. Will need to try this out I'm sure will help
What is the difference between N1 and N2 model? Is it only the shade?
I cannot seem to find N2 (CMSXJ25A). It's all N1 on AliExpress. Anybody care to help?
I think they are all N2 to be honest because if you check customer reviews you can see pics of the camera and it is the one with shade. Anyway I updated the link in the description.
Does it have good human and motion detection? That's my biggest fear to buy EC3 or not...
Still Bad detection (global version)
IRled in the nigth is red or 940nm?
Yes red.
can this camera be used to live stream on RUclips?
No, not directly. But it might be possible using a broadcaster software.
Nice vid!
at least it should have the pwd protection & encryption if having onvif compliance ,,that will be sufficient enough to use (at least security to consider)
Disculpa, la alarma de sonido se activa sola cuando hay alguien?
Good Reviews as Always! Keep it up.
Thank you!
I just bought 2 cmsxj25A cameras but, I cannot find the devices in my Xiaomi Home, neither I cannot scan the device: the device is not supported.
Please help.
Can someone help me ?
Does it works with Alexa?
hi friend good information
Thanks!
The bad thing about this camera is whenever the internet connection is offline the video recording will be automatically stopped so this is something negative about this device I hope they update the firmware
Please send me the firmware. So i can reset and downgrade. Mine got bricked after updating
Forget it. I order months ago a Bluetooth Lock and I received instructions in Chinese only. I called Amazon an the company told me that is it, no other language. No English, no French. So my reaction when someone mention the word Chinese I say no fucking way and I’m not watching the reste of the video.
Using Google translate becomes pretty helpful. I have received items with only original country language instructions. Google translate will live translate if you just hold your camera over it in app.
I have bought EC3 global from AliExpress but can't find full night colour vision option under night setting. Do you know anything about it?
@@TTS-TP sorry but here in Quebec there are laws the all companies have to provide instruction in French. And not just instructions but what is written on the package. But me I don’t care, as long it’s in French or English. That is the only languages that I know.
Breaks down after a week, very poor quality!!!
I wonder if there is any way to control this camera by computer or via dvr.?
May I ask how much days it records on one sd card ?
For continuous recordings at 1080p you will get maybe 2 days out of a 32GB SD card. For only motion detection recording it will last a lot longer. Maybe 30 days or more, it all depends how often the camera detect motion.
